We were not sure where to stay as this was our first trip to Victoria and we
were lucky enough to stumble across the Gatsby Mansion! From our initial
greeting from our host to the room, we were very pleased with our choice!
Despite road work/construction outside, our room was quiet (it overlooked the
harbor), was nicely decorated and had an incredibly comfy four poster bed! You
need to be able to maneuver stairs as the Inn lacks an elevator, but the
history, charm and staff more than make up for an inconvenience!
As for the breakfast, well, we loved the brief walk next door and the food was
ample, tasty and our view only enhanced our experience! Thanks Gatsby!

Choose a room near the front to ensure a view of the harbor! Believe it or
not, the rooms are as quiet as they are delightful!

convenient & friendly
Great location, charm and very helpful service.
Harbourside is the place to be -- easy walking distance to all the shopping and
restaurants.

Our room was just what I expected, but if you're expecting all the modern
amenities, this is not the place for you. Our corner room had a king sized bed,
antique wardrobe, loveseat, and windows overlooking the harbor. There was a
modernized bathroom with a shower. It was an old home, and some windows were
painted shut, and the carpet and furniture showed some wear, but in my mind
that's what made it quaint and homey. The restaurant downstairs served a very
nice breakfast and the staff was friendly and helpful. At first the other couple
vacationing with us was in another building - in the only room in that building,
but the staff was able to move them to a suite across the hall from us. Their
room was larger with a separate seating area, but no shower. If you're looking
for something different from the usually sterile modern hotel, this is it. I'd
love to go back.

This stay we had was amazing. Amazingly horrible! There was so many problems we
had I'm not sure how anybody with a right mind can give this place a good
review. Simply put it needs a lot of work. Our room was smelly and the carpet
was disgusting. The best part of our Victoria trip was being away from this
Mansion. Besides our room, some of the staff were very unprofessional. We were
having afternoon tea and could over hear an older gentlemen and woman making
dirty jokes. We tried to ignore it but it got to the point where it got too much
so we did not even finish our tea. We asked to pack up the sandwiches and
desserts so we could just leave the restaurant. Overall, we will not come back
and we do not recommend this place at all. Anyone checking in should check out
immediately. Horrible rooms, horrible staff and a horrible experience. Not
pleased at all. |
